The Secret Path of Destiny

The Secret Path of Destiny is Book Two of The Indian Path Series. Each book in The Indian Path Series focuses on a different Native American tribe during the Indian Wars in the late 1800s, and the lives of fictional characters are woven into the true events. Other books in the series include The Sacred Path of Tears, Book One, about the Cheyenne in Kansas after the Sand Creek Massacre, and The Crimson Path of Honor, Book Three, about the Lakota in the northern Plains and Rocky Mountains.

In The Secret Path of Destiny, a disabled German-American girl, Isolde, and her destitute mother reach out to a German town in Texas for help. It's 1865, and the Comanche are at war, but their benefactor poses an even greater threat. It is a story of danger and survival and finding love in the most unexpected places.

The theme of The Indian Path Series is how to find life's purpose and a path of peace, love, courage, and faith in times of trouble. As American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility."
